Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the seventh episode, Connor speaks with World Series of Poker (WSOP) commentator Norman Chad, one of the most recognizable voices in poker who has provided color commentary on poker's biggest stage for over 20 years.
Chad talks about getting his start as a sports writer in college, his decades-long syndicated sports humor column for the Washington Post and being asked to commentate on the 2003 WSOP Main Event that sparked the Poker Boom.
Chad also discusses the state of poker broadcasting today, the need for more color commentary in the booth, and the need for more interesting characters on the felt.

Action folded to the small blind who raised to 1000, before Mike Matusow raised to 2,700 in the big blind. The small blind made the call to see a flop.
Both players checked on all streets on the 10♣K♥Q♣8♣K♦ board.
Matusow then tabled A♥A♦4♦2♥ before saying "This is the best hand I've seen in weeks". Another player at the table jokingly said "Yeah it's a great board for it too"
The small blind mucked their hand to give the pot to Matusow.
